But, you k...Your chocolate cake is gorgeous, Joey! But, you know what I loved most about this post? Reading about your obvious love and affection for your brother. I lost my beloved little brother 13 years ago, when he was just 19. Oh, what a life changing thing to go through. And I loved to cook and bake for him too...he was an appreciative audience for any and everything I could come up with, and the sweetest, most fun brother I could have ever hoped for. I miss him every day, and it warmed my heart to read about you and your bro. My brother's name started with an A, and mine with a B, so I thought your A, B and C reference was cute as can be too. :-)Belindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00114357903650884040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448190.post-55222260374671258672008-11-19T00:16:00.000+08:002008-11-19T00:16:00.000+08:00Hi Ipshi!

It’s so nice to hear that we have even more in common :) And such a great thing to have in common at that :) If only humans where like our toys, with Action Man and Optimus Prime making friends with Barbie and her gang, despite their obvious differences, wouldn’t the world be so much more interesting and peaceful? :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Susan! Creme anglaise with this cake sounds divine! Nigella also has a recipe of white chocolate rum custard that she sometimes has with this cake...sounds yummy too :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Sophia! Yes, we do have a quirky bond :) We can talk for hours!<BR/><BR/>Hi Jescel! Yup, very close and both of us have had our naughty days too I guess...good thing we were there to look out for one another (and to cover up when one would made takas, hehe)! I love the way the cake turned out :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Mikky! Thanks! They did come out very good – which is saying a lot because I’m not the best baker on the block by a long shot!<BR/><BR/>Hi Patricia! Hehe, my dad’s a Scorpio too! I’m a Libra and I think we get along fabulously! Go try it! Would love to see your’s! If I’ve made it that means it can’t be too complicated :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Bordeaux! Haha! I was quite the Barbie freak when I was younger...I had her clothes, her horse, her little dune buggy, and even a pool! I could go for hours playing!<BR/><BR/>Hi Midge! He was much smaller than me then (which isn’t true anymore now!) so he bit my stomach! I still remember the horror with which I saw his little teeth marks on my tummy! Arck! I was very upset, hehe ;) I will check out the cookie recipe...thanks! <BR/><BR/>Hi Susan! I love how dark it is too! I’m with you on the “dense” :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Tanna! I got those paper cup thingies in Hong Kong (I have never been able to find them here yet!) just for cupcakes...heehee, the things we do!!!<BR/><BR/>Hi Jude! Muscovado rocks! :)<BR/><BR/>Hi M! Oh my! If I could have a dollar for every time my brother scared me! This cake has a different crumb and taste altogether from the C&amp;Z one but both our good :) My bro’s fave is still the C&amp;Z cake...gotta love that (almost) flourless gateau ;)<BR/><BR/>Hi Peabody! It is! Well, maybe not really ;)<BR/><BR/>Hi Buon Viaggio! Thanks! So far I have only tried 3 of her recipes...and all 3 turned out yummy :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Veron! Hehe...hear hear!!! :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Stepfor Mum! Got the moolahs thanks!
